Renegotiate - Henry Gross

Lord do you feel me when I’m tossing late at night

There are things I’d like to say but I never know if the time is right

I’ve been waiting for a moments rest so long overdue

I believe it’s time we had a talk, just me and you

I know you’ve got a plan with an excellent design

And God knows I know you know, I’ve been working overtime

And I don’t mean to criticize or in any way malign

Something so beautiful and certainly divine, but

I’d like to renegotiate the deal I have with you

There must be something easier that you could have me do

I’ve been searching for a loophole but the contract is airtight

And I am laid so very low I cannot sleep at night

So I’d like to renegotiate the deal I have in life

I’m not asking for a raise or immortality

All I’m asking from you Lord is total amnesty

And I would never bother you to ask for sympathy

Or call you on a busy day for triviality but

I’d like to renegotiate the deal I have with you

There must be something easier that you could have me do

The deal was made and the papers signed before I knew my rights

And it’s fraught with ambiguities and tragic oversights

So I’d like to renegotiate the deal I have in life
